Jim Rogers: Lessons from a Legend

Don't be lazy. A two minute search on the web will find you any ETF or commodities trade you so desire. Even searching for "RICI" or "Rogers Index" should not be too hard for you.

Notes from Accuray Annual Shareholder Meeting (2009)

I must admit, discussing the performance and operations of the CyberKnife in the AGM really does not make sense. Every investor in the company should already know these basics of the company's product.

Seems like the company needs to be sold to a bigger entity to be able to push through the sales and reduce administrative overheads.

Ackman Expands on His Realty Income Short

Oh Really !!!!!

Name a couple of these "HEALTHY STOCKS" which were ruined by short sellers !!!!

Healthy companies are able to easily survive bear raids, weak ones collapse. I suppose you considered GM, FNM, FRE, etc ... all healthy companies.

To survive a bear raid, a company just has to announce a stock buyback plan, or raise their dividend or demonstrate future earnings growth or similar actions to immediately halt the bear raid. Weak companies can not do these things, which is why they do not survive.

Portfolio Update: Still Trimming ETF/CEF Holdings

4 Ways to Profit from Germany, Country with the Smallest Stimulus Package

Two major issues to disagree with you about this article.

"but it has the ability to grow domestic demand to compensate without affecting its budget or payments position."

and

"the huge flows of “safe haven” money that for decades helped prop up the U.S. Treasuries market will flow instead into the German bund and equities markets"

The German people will not continue to stimulate the economy, they will shrink back into thier shells and not consume as they have in the past.

The euro of the future will not be considered a safe haven, if you really believe that, then you do not fully understand the euro experiment problems. German is only one country using the Euro.

2008 Repeat: Get Ready for Another Round of Deflation

You might be making the assumption that "seasonally adjusted" jobs are the same as REAL jobs !!!!!

The seasonally adjusted jobs in teh jobs report numbers never exist, they are only part of an economic MODEL !!!

RHIE was a one way bet. Why is he holding ?

Gannett Is Undervalued

delusional with 100% certainty

Based on fact A, I can infer fact B, and then derive from that, fact C. Which based on fact C, I can guarantee that fact D is 100% correct.

It would be interesting to see the same charts but using the
EV/EBITDA instead, to see how that changes the historic references.

Reviewing My Opportunities Portfolio for 2008

This posting has NO "informational purposes" AT ALL. Your hypothetical portfolio is a joke and the performance is even worse.

You are telling us you "actively managed" this "version of this portfolio" all the way to a 40%+ LOSS. What a joke.

I would suggest you post this nonsense at The Onion in future. The internet would be a better place if trash like this was not allowed. And I get alert on this trash all because you chose to mention a stock I like and follow.
